“We are people, not rags”

Posted on November 11, 2015

For too long, we have only heard about migrant workers. But it’s time to hear from them. Migrant worker leaders like Dhon Mojica. Dhon Mojica, was in the temporary foreign worker program. While his application for permanent residency was recently approved, his life and status were in limbo for a long time. He moved from one precarious job to another in search of stability. Many of his friends and co-workers were not as lucky. Most of them were sent back to the Philippines. Dhon should have arrived in Canada with permanent immigration status. That’s only fair.
